YOUTH RESIDENCY

Youth Residency Program

Y+ contemporary’s annual youth residency aims to provide youth with the opportunity to work in parallel with an emerging artist, learning new skills and gaining an understanding of what it means to be a professional artist. Participants work collaboratively towards the creation and exhibition of their work, learning new techniques, how to develop a body of work, and the process of preparing for an exhibition.

Details for the 2018 youth residency are to be announced.

Our 2017 youth residency program was supported by the Ontario Arts Council, the Doris McCarthy Gallery and the Office of the Vice-President and Principal, University of Toronto Scarborough.
